What are some alternative approaches to structuring PHP code for displaying data in sections with interruptions, beyond the methods discussed in the forum thread?

Issue: When displaying data in sections with interruptions in PHP, it can be challenging to maintain clean and organized code. One alternative approach is to use a loop to iterate through the data and check for interruption points before displaying each section. 

// Sample data array with interruptions
$data = [
    ['section' => 'A', 'value' => 'Data 1'],
    ['section' => 'B', 'value' => 'Data 2'],
    ['section' => 'A', 'value' => 'Data 3'],
    ['section' => 'C', 'value' => 'Data 4'],
    ['section' => 'A', 'value' => 'Data 5'],
];

// Initialize variables
$currentSection = '';
foreach ($data as $item) {
    // Check for interruption point
    if ($item['section'] !== $currentSection) {
        echo "<h2>{$item['section']}</h2>";
        $currentSection = $item['section'];
    }
    // Display data within the section
    echo "<p>{$item['value']}</p>";
}
